H5N8 expands its reach

India has reported an outbreak of a highly contagious bird flu virus in Karnataka, the Paris-based World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) said.

The virus, H5N8, spreads through direct contact with secretions from infected birds, their feed, etc. So far there are no reported cases of H5N8 affecting people.

The virus is caused by Type “A” influenza and is a subtype of the H5N1 virus.

With nearly 50 ducks dying of the virus last month at Delhi zoo, State govt had issued a health advisory asking people to not consume uncooked chicken or eggs.

H5N8 bird flu strain has been found in several countries in Europe and West Asia recently, leading some states to order poultry flocks to be kept indoors.

The same virus had previously affected livestock in Haryana, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala.

As a matter of caution, the Union Health Ministry has issued an advisory to the States and Union Territories to minimise bird-human interface, ensure that those handling sick or dead birds use personal protective equipment, and also keep them under surveillance.
